Greetings from the Critique Club :)

This photo makes me hungry and I'm sitting here at lunch time telling you how nice this looks instead of eating lunch :)

I think your lighting work on this shot is pretty good, but it may be just a tad bright on the top part of the frame... The shadows cast toward the bottom look fine though...

Compositionally, I would have probably made a few minor changes that could possibly create more impact... First of all, I would have spaced the saucer and the meat tray slightly farther apart to give each a little more breating room. They are a bit close together. Secondly, I would have staggered them slightly.. I would have moved the meat tray up and the saucer down just a little to create a bit more of a diagonal composition rather than a side by side view.

Another possible compositional change would have been to photograph at a little more of an angle rather than straight on. This would create a stronger sense of depth in the image...

With that being said, I think I am going to have lunch now :)

Keep up the good work!

the lighting is a little too harsh, and the chopped pepper looks like halfeaten food

It's hard to enjoy a photo like this when you don't eat meat, but it's nicely composed and has an interesting, soft focus look to it. I like the different shapes of the plate and the meat tray. The chilli (pepper, whatever) is a nice touch. Overall, though, it's a little bit flat and washed out.

not a bad concept, colors are a little washed out on the pepers...or are they a milky yellow to begin with? also image seems to have a diffuse look at my end.
still high marks to you.

Missing composition and harmony, brightness and focus

IMO looks a bit over exposed. Otherwise good.

You forgot the tomatoes in the before. Just nit-piciking. This is nice, simple, but nice. Good one.
